Author's note: Aye yai yai, well just unearthed this old story that I found deep in my portfolio.... it is from my early writing days so don't judge! Please enjoy! I must pack quickly. Aurellia thought, as she threw food, water, and other essentials into a bag, and threw it over her shoulder. Aurellia grabbed a pen and paper to leave a note to her friends, saying she had gone on a short adventure. Just as she was about to rush out her door, she bumped into Merlin, spilling all of her maps, food, and clothes on the floor.“Sorry," Merlin ...

Trigger Warning: Blood and GoreAll I remembered was darkness; dense impenetrable darkness. Like a thick woolen blanket that smothered its victims. I looked around, lost in that dark world. Then a feeling of despair settled on me.Drowning me, pulling me farther and farther from the surface.Then, through that darkness a pinpoint of light burst through the midnight, the only sliver of hope I had of escape. I walked, no, ran toward that light, not wanting to lose my chance of freedom. He looked at me curiously, pulling me out of that memory whic...
Note from the Author: This is the beginning of the first chapter to my novel "Scavenger". It has had to be shortened and abridged so it could fit the 1k-3k criteria for entry.

July 15th, 1821 Oh how the sun was shining! Everything its light touched was illuminated in a cast of gold and silver.

Almost everyone in the town knew each other, and everyone lived harmoniously and happily. Each working to better himself, and help his neighbors. “C’mon Sarah!” Austin Harrington, a handsome young man yelled as his eyes sparkled with joy...

“Goodbye mother, I will write to you.” Everett tilted his head, and kissed the soft, pale skin of his mother’s cheek.“Yes, you had better, or I will march all the way to Camelot and pull your ears!” Everett smiled as his mother said this, and hugged her old, frail form, for what he thought might be the last time. His mother’s green eyes glittered with wet tears as she said her goodbyes to her youngest son.Her wisps of gray hair fluttered in the early morning breeze, illuminated by the first sunrays that stretched themselves over the white mo...
Golden sun rays pierced through the yellow curtains that draped over the large window in Lady Aurellia’s room. The rays glided through the window as the large brazen sun rose in the distance, until they landed softly on Lady Aurellia’s face causing her to stir from her deep sleep. Grumbling and growling, Aurellia sat up and rubbed her eyes, still trying to drag herself out of her sleep. “It’s morning already?” Aurellia thought frustrated as she sat up , scooted out of her soft four-post bed, walked over to her large window, and looked ...
